Abstract

This study was conducted to prevent hardened texture in retorted frozen seafoods such as small octopus, squid, and top shell by adding sorbitol; the strength of mechanical hardness and other qualities were measured. The hardness of the 3 kinds of seafood pretreated with 2-4% (w/w) sorbitol solution decreased by 9-36% compared to the control. The hardness of retorted frozen octopus, squid, and top shell treated with sorbitol solution upon freezing significantly decreased to 1670, 1015, and $521g_f/cm^2$ compared to levels in untreated food of 1841, 1291, and $815g_f/cm^2$ (p<0.05), respectively. Yields based on weight in retorted seafood treated with sorbitol were increased by 2-5% compared to untreated samples. Additionally, the overall preference of texture was 0.4 points higher than that of control samples in descriptive sensory evaluation (p<0.05). The tissue softening of pretreated seafood was based on decreased dewatering due to the formation of small ice crystals during freezing as a result of sorbitol treatment.

고온에서 가열 살균한 냉동 해산물의 텍스처 경화 개선 효과를 당알코올을 이용한 얼음결정 억제 측면에서 연구, 고찰하여 상업적으로 적용 가능한 전처리 방법을 확립하였다. 레토르트 낙지, 오징어 및 소라의 텍스처 경화 현상 개선 실험 결과 2, 4%(w/w) 솔비톨 용액을 혼합 후 급속냉동, 해동 후 고온 가열한 경우 무처리구 대비 텍스처의 기계적 측정 지표인 경도값이 9-36% 내외 감소하여 텍스처 연화 효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 냉동 해산물의 냉동 과정에서 발생하는 얼음결정 형성에 따른 단백 조직의 수축에 의한 질긴 식감과 세포 조직 손상이 솔비톨 첨가에 따른 미세 얼음결정 형성과 보수력 향상으로 최소화되어 고온 가열 후에도 무처리구 대비 수분 용출이 감소하여 텍스처 연화가 발생함을 알 수 있었다(1,3,13-15). 또한 솔비톨 처리 시 단백 조직의 보수력 향상으로 중량 변화에 근거한 수율도 2-5% 내외 상승하였다. 오징어살과 소라살에서 5점 척도법 분석형 관능검사 결과 전처리 실험구의 탄력성 및 식감 기호도가 무처리구 대비 통계적 유의성 있게 0.2-0.4점 우수한 것으로 나타나 텍스처 기기 측정치와 동일하게 관능 분석에서도 텍스처 연화에 따른 식감 향상 효과가 검증 되었다. 이상과 같이 레토르트 냉동 해산물 원료의 냉동변성 현상을 억제하기 위하여 솔비톨과 염을 이용하여 급속 냉동시키는 얼음결정 억제 전처리 공정을 적용한 결과 오징어살과 소라살에서서 냉동변성 방지 효과가 확인되었으며, 오징어살의 최적 처리조건은 2% (w/w) 솔비톨 용액, 소라살의 최적 처리조건은 4% (w/w) 솔비톨 용액이었다.
